2004年12月26日的印度洋海啸对沿海社区和生态系统产生了重大影响。海啸后对海岸线的评估表明，红树林和海滩森林等沿海植被有助于提供保护并减少对邻近社区的影响。近年来，许多海岸线上的红树林和其他沿海植被被砍伐或退化，使它们更容易受到风暴和海啸的破坏。建立或加强红树林和其他沿海森林的绿化带可能在减少未来极端事件的影响方面发挥关键作用。
The 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami had major effects on coastal communities and ecosystems. An assessment of coastlines after the tsunami indicates that coastal vegetation such as mangroves and beach forests helped to provide protection and reduce effects on adjacent communities. In recent years, mangroves and other coastal vegetation have been cleared or degraded along many coastlines, increasing their vulnerability to storm and tsunami damage. Establishing or strengthening greenbelts of mangroves and other coastal forests may play a key role in reducing the effect of future extreme events.
